I checked in on 9/16 with my five year old daughter after a 12 hour car ride. The room was dated but whatever. I woke the next morning with bed bug bites on my left arm and a live bug under my pillow. Front desk came, told me it looked like a mite, and asked what I wanted to do: refund or a new room. I said I have two more very busy days and a clean room is a great start. They gave me a new room with dirty sheets, I was just hoping they were chest hairs. I asked them to replace the sheets while I took my daughter to my sisters to swim and see my family. Unable to get over the chills of bed bugs I went to the hotel to check the sheets and in reality, check out to go somewhere else. The front desk assistant stopped me as I was walking in and informed me the GM Kevin was comping my room. I thought ‘that helps’. I Checked the sheets and they had been changed. I went to the front desk and asked for clarification that the stay of three nights or the one night was compensated. She called the GM in my presence and stated “you will receive enough points for three nights”. Great. Her and I go to my room and check the mattress together to verify there’s no visible evidence of bed bugs in the new room. We’re good. I stay seeing as I already have the swollen, red, sweltering bites and it’s three nights earned. I appreciated the way the front desk assistant and the GM were handling the situation. The staff after the first day were rude, inconsiderate, and it always felt like you were interrupting them. I asked a front desk assistant Kevin for a fridge to put my daughters milk in, he laughed like I was asking for something outrageous. I had been told by the GM the day before that they could provide one. I was kind and patient and told them to please see what they could do. They absolutely did not give it a second thought. It wouldn’t have stung so bad if the situation was different. I had stayed four nights in June and encountered the staff attitude and subpar standards. I stayed again because it’s a Hampton and we use them often. I would have stayed again this week if this hadn’t have played out the way it has, but I’ll never stay here again. I have called and spoke with Kevin the GM and was assured he put the points in himself and they would show up. The next day 1,000 points showed up instead of 90,000 points. My husband called and was given the run around by a very rude assistant manager. Multiple phone calls have been exchanged. One phone call confirmed the hotel still has bed bugs. We have now been told we will receive 30,000 points for the one night with the bed bugs and that should be good since the other two nights didn’t have bed bugs. I’m sitting here looking at the bite areas, still pink and healing two weeks later, thankful my five year old wasn’t effected, and hoping no one else’s kids are.
